We are going to install and run the gdbserver application, which will allow us to run GDB on our build system and forward all commands to the target system. Switch to the Raspberry Pi emulator window.

1. Log in as pi using the raspberry password, unless you're already logged in.
2. To install gdbserver, run the following command:

        # sudo apt-get install gdbserver

3. Run the hello application under gdbserver:

        $ gdbserver 0.0.0.0:9090 ./hello

4. Switch to the build system terminal and change the directory to /mnt/hello:

        # cd /mnt/hello

5. Install the gdb-multiarch package, which provides the necessary support for the ARM platform:

        # apt install -y gdb-multiarch

6. Next, run gdb:

         # gdb-multiarch -q ./hello

7. Configure the remote connection ...
